I heard The Counter had a Kung Pao shrimp burger as their Burger of the Month for September. Being genetically pre-disposed to loving Asian foods and also being a seafood lover, this sounded nommy. Fortunately, I didn’t have to try very hard to convince the husband to go with me for lunch one day.

There were about 5 pieces of properly cooked large shrimp, enough to register with my taste buds in every bite. The rice noodles gave a nice crunch to the burger and the sauce actually had a little kick to it. It was a bit messy to eat and I had to, on occasion, use a fork. But in my opinion, a good burger is going to leave you licking your fingers.

The Shake of the Month was a chocolate brownie coffee malt – Vanilla ice cream w/ real pieces of chocolate brownie, a hint of coffee, malt powder and topped with whipped cream. The husband ordered one so naturally, I drank about half of it. OMG, this could give the apple pie shake a run for its money as my favorite. The coffee was subtle and there was a nice balance of chocolate and vanilla.

The Counter is slowly growing on me and I’m figuring out combinations that I like. If they made the Kung Pao Shrimp burger a regular item, I’d be happy.

That’s awesome to hear about the shake. I used to work for The Counter and I invented all the shakes of the months. I always thought my best were the Churro and B-Day Cake shake but thanks for the nod on the Chocolate Brownie Coffee Malt.

I’ve heard good things about he Churro shake and hope to one day try it. I loooooooooooooooove churros. Just saw a tweet that the shake of the month at select locations is the B-day Cake shake! Going to see if the 2 locations by me are serving it up…
